Check MOS note 888828.1. This should always be your first stop regarding Exadata software questions.

The Exadata What's New (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E80920_01/DBMSO/exadata-whatsnew.htm ) also lists the requirements for any particular feature. Generally speaking, a new Exadata Software release can be installed on older Exadatas, but some features also require some special hardware capabilities that may simply not be available with a previous generation system.

For certain features requiring a specific software version, in the new feature descriptions, you will find this information. See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E80920_01/DBMSO/exadata-whatsnew.htm#DBMSO-GUID-5386D983-50AD-4196-BC43-8ECBE7982ECB  - here you will see that all the new features specific to the Exadata X7 system require Oracle Exadata Storage Server System Software release 18.1.0.0.0

Hi,

The cross compatibility for the database nodes, storage and grid infraastructure is not simple, because you need to keep in mind top to down all the releases.

You can check all this things in the document: MOS note 888828.1. (our colleague told ass)

On the other hand you need to think in the maintenance (patch events),

You can check the releases involved in the QSFDP, the both patches are valid for X3 & X7.

Patch 26774178: EXADATA COMPUTE NODE 12.1.2.3.7 OL6 BASE REPOSITORY ISO 

Patch 27292320: EXADATA COMPUTE NODE 12.2.1.1.5 OL6 BASE REPOSITORY ISO

Regards !!!! 

@aryan2000,

For Exadata patching, software and compatibility, always check 888828.1.

I would check this note for few days for updates. This is your friend for Exadata patches & software updates.
